Team Allergy

Procedures

Last week, we finished ligation together Sense and Intron parts of the hpRNA and transformed them into E. coli. This week, we will extract the plasmids, add in the antisense part, and transform.

Procedures today...

Culture colonies (done over the weekend)

Miniprep of V0120 sense + PDK, PAL intron parts

Diagnostic Digest

We also need to check which parts of the sequence on the team page corresponds to the sense/antisense parts of the gene. There may have been mistakes in the past.

Results

Culture
We cultured 38 colonies. All grew but one LTP+PAL and Ger+Pal grew. We labeled the cultures 1- 38 for simplicity sake.

1-6: LTP + PDk
7-16:
Miniprep

Here are the concentrations of the miniprepped plasmid.

Diagnostic Digest

We digested the vectors with Spe and Pst1 and ligate with antisense parts (already digested and gel purified). We ran them on the E Gel too long so the lanes do not show anything conclusive, other than that there is digested DNA in the bottom half.

Result:

Sequence review clarified which parts of the sequences on the team page corresponded to sense/antisense.
